[OL] kl. Sextro-LÜBKE in Langwege near Dinklag e

From: Linda Luebcke <LLuebcke(a)att.net> 

Hello,

Please excuse my use of English.  My German is very bad.

I am trying to understand the origin of the  Lübke  part of the kl. Sextro-Lübke family name.

The family was part of the farming community of Langwege (II) near the town of Dinklage in Oldenburg . 

Catholic church records from Dinklage in the 1800's use "kl. Sextro vulgo Lübke" for the family.      
Johan Herman kl. Sextro vulgo Lübke (1774-1855) and his son Johan Heinrich kl. Sextro vulgo Lübke (1810-1873) were the first people I found in the records with the Lübke part of the name.     

I know these extra names were used to tell families with similar names apart but  -  why was Lübke chosen?   Why was it important to the family?

An aunt said that Lübke was the name of a farm.   Is that true??    Is it a part of Langwege?

Does anyone on the list know something that might help me understand the  Lübke  part of the name?

Franz Josef kl. Sextro-Lübke (1881-1946) came to America from Langwege in 1905.   He farmed in the small town of Marysville in the state of Kansas.   His name changed to  Francis Joseph Luebcke   and all his descendants use that name.

Thank You for your help in figuring out why my name is "Lübke".   :-))
